There are two loves of my life: my family, and acrylic paint. While I work in watercolours more now, both with my shop and the Instagram challenge, my first true love is acrylic. It’s bold, it’s thick, and it can be obnoxious and loud when you want it. I love bold works with lots of…

Get Messy Lists // Week 2 & 3
Read moreYou know how the saying goes “When it rains, it pours.”? Well, that has been true around my house. Things were really stagnant the months after Christmas for Fox & Hazel. It wasn’t very encouraging, and frankly, was becoming a bit depressing. However, all things happen in seasons (I’m sure the seasoned biz babes know…

A Tiny Series // Year of Petite Art Journals #3
Read moreIt’s another month, and another tiny art journal! This one is my smallest one so far: 1.5″ x 1.5″! It’s so dang tiny. Like: It’s smaller than my pens and brushes. It’s made of hot press watercolour paper, and bound with chipboard. I did a glue binding this time, since the paper is so thick.…

Get Messy Lists // Week 1
Read moreOne of my favourite feelings is how excited and refreshed I feel when a new season of Get Messy starts. It’s a new challenge, new ideas, and lots of fun with all my messy friends. The breaks in between are necessary for me, as I have so much going on most of the time that…

Season of Happy // Week 6

I spent the week feeling like I wasn’t dedicating enough time to art journal, and that I didn’t know how I was going to have anything to share this week.…

Season of Happy // Week 5 (When I Ignored the Prompts)
Read moreI have a confession: these pages have nothing to to with this week’s prompt set. Like, at all. The prompts were great and maybe I’ll revisit them this weekend. But you know when you get an idea in your head, a vision, an idea; and you just can’t shake it until you make it? (unintentional…

A Tiny Series // Year of Petite Art Journals #2
Read moreIt’s hard to believe it’s the start of March already. Whaaaat? I have some cool stuff going on this month, including my husband’s 30th birthday! He’s so laid back and easy going when it comes to birthdays, so he hasn’t asked for anything special for his big day. I think I’ll need to figure out…

Season of Happy // Week 4
Read moreIt’s been a busy season of life over here. It seems I have about 20 projects on the go at once, and some things have to take a back seat. The blog was one of them! Hopefully things will slow down and I can get you guys more posts. Life just gets so busy! I…

A Tiny Series // Year of Petite Art Journals #1
Read moreBack in December, I decided on a new project for this year that would be low pressure and also challenging to my usual work. Within my friend group there was talk of creating every day, lettering every day, etc. I know how I work and knew that would be a goal I would fail immediately!…
